  Points taken. And after the Cloud Key comparison, I'm a lot less nervous about the power level of this.

  Should this be the Soradyne Industrial Campus rather than Newbridge?

  Well played.

  I suggest taking off the targeting so that folks can cast this without targets. Or target an opponent.

  "Target opponent sacrifices three nonbasic lands. CARDNAME deals 3 damage to each creature."

  Between the Medallions (Jet Medallion, etc...), Cloud Key, and a variety of other things, I think this looks good, but I really don't see a reason for it to enter tapped.

  It has the potential to be the Changeling equivalent of Eye of Ugin, but as dude1818 said, it'll take a while to break even. And you've already got multiple drawbacks:

  1. It's legendary.
  2. It only produces colorless mana.
  3. It stops being a functional land to turn on its ability.

  This was Rosewater's comment regarding my Diabolic Ruse when it appeared on Ethan Fleischer's design test:

  MR: Usually when you create an effect that needs a drawback you can choose one of two paths. You can put restrictions on what the player can do or you can not give the player everything they want. I feel on this card you did both.

  There's a similar cumulative effect of having that many drawbacks. If people can't live the dream of having multiple reactors powered up, don't make it take so long to turn one of these guys on.

  I've considered bumping the bonus up to off simply based on the fact that of you only throw down, say, one creature a turn, then the ability is no better than just tapping the land for mana. My concern is that it effectively becomes an all-purpose artifact with fewer vulnerabilities. By that same token, I think a 6-drop artifact that had you sac a land to get this ability would probably be reasonably fair.

  The ability seems way too expensive given that it loses you a mana source. I suppose it makes up for that by reducing spells' costs, but it would take a while to break even.

  Oh snap.

  This looks a whole lot like a hellion. What happened to the whole Vent Hellion deal? Greatest Vent Hellion?

  Also: oh snap. You're going to have a hell of a time balancing this. Keldon Champion and Flametongue Kavu are already bad enough dudes that they get to hang out with Moxes and stuff in legit Cubes. Smushing them together into Walking Fireball That Steals Your Lunch Money is pretty rude.

  Ok. Cool.

  Can you drop that equip cost a good deal. Requiring it be equipped to Fatties is already a fair roadblock.

  ­Elbrus, the Binding Blade is pile of poo that no one wants to play, and this deserves to be drafted.

  Pale Tarkot goes apeshit and destroys a train station, forcing the Houk administration to acknowledge that he's still alive, despite their insistence for years that he's dead. This gives credence to Marrick's stance that the government has been hiding the truth about the Day of Silence and the Crossblight for years. Pretty much starts the old rotary manure festival.

• 2012-04-13 03:32:30: SFletcher commented on Train Car Wreckage

  Short answer: Yes.

  Long answer: Ummm, yes.

• 2012-04-13 03:24:28: M_Houlding commented on Train Car Wreckage

  I'm so confused by the flavor of this card. Am I supposed to imagine The Hulk picking up the husk of a train wreck and tossing it around?
